I try to keep a healthy and balanced diet as I have a vitamin deficiency, I also started taking vitamin B12 (you can find it at a Canadian pharmacy). Apathy is disappeared and I am very happy to have a lot of energy again.

purple rice? I've not seen that.

-------------------------------

My schedule went a bit sideways and plans got tweaked. In addition to my planned food, I had a tostada w/ IP pinto beans and jicama salad (good thing as I didn't get lunch until 3). I also had the last 1/3 of my gf/vegan cookie. I had grapes after my dinner.

I started my period today. Cravings weren't too bad at all. My only big indulgence was the the gf/vegan cookie. They don't sell them locally and I won't buy one again as it was too sweet. I always have issues with sleep before my period but it was considerably better this time. I usually am up through the night for hours. This week I woke up at 4:15-4:45 the last 5 or so days but mostly got enough sleep as I usually get to bed early. And waking up early is way better than awake for hours in the middle of the night. (I usually wake around 5 something so it isn't crazy early). Is it peri-hormonal fluctuation or related to diet? I've been aiming for vegan/wfpb since May 1st (although I did notice my gf bread had eggs after the fact). I'm going to aim to stick with it and see if it is also better next month.

b: smoothie bowl; mango, banana, bluberries, strawberries, kale; vegan protein powder (1/2 serving); cocoa; homemade muesli

mixed greens - just had these plain trying to up my veggie intake

l: lentil curry w/ some veggies and rice 

d: leftover night- I'm having my leftover zucchini pesto pasta (zucchini, basil, pistachios, tomatoes, chickpeas, cauli-quinoa- brown rice pasta; 

snacks: homemade larabar; ???

I really love purple rice. I discovered it at a local chain (Bippibop) and then started purchasing it from our local Asian grocery store. It's got a wonderful flavor--heftier than white rice but not with the "bran" kinda taste that brown rice has.

OK I am back from my mother's and need to focus.  I ate way too much gluten on my trip but otherwise pretty healthy.  Dh can keep himself and dd fed while I'm gone but doesn't shop so there was not much in the house yesterday.  I need to restart taking B12, my memory is shot.

Yesterday at home: 

brussel sprouts 

a snack that might have been walnuts

burritos for dh, dd, and bonus kid, pan-roasted chicken for me

a beer with two friends and dd, celebrating!

Hello again. I was visiting my parents for a week and didn't keep track of things there. Back home now; there's no place like home!

Yesterday I had 2 eggs scrambled with cheddar, salsa verde, and cilantro, plus 2 pieces wheat toast with mixed berry jam from the farm stand; turkey and provolone on a roll with mustard; then 8 oz steak, salad, and loaded baked potato at a restaurant for Mother's Day.

No breakfast for me today; not very hungry. For lunch I had a salad with 5 types organic lettuces, sharp cheddar, organic peas, organic local tomatoes, and an Italian dressing we got at a specialty shop, plus a yeast roll. 

Will update after dinner. 

Update. I didn't have dinner. I ate a piece of the pie we made (cream cheese, pineapple, apple and walnut in graham cracker crust) and went to bed early.

I'm too behind to catch up. Not enough veggies the last few days. I need to prep some more food. 

Saturday: tropical smoothie bowl 

breakfast cookies (rainbow plant life recipe reduced maple syrup- raisins- walnuts- almonds-pecans for mix-ins) & fruit at brunch- should have brought myself a salad or something- other than what I brought the only other thing there I could eat was bacon and I'm eating vegan currently. I really needed something savory at that point.

more breakfast cookies while cooking

dinner: lentil sloppy joes- no bun- I overcooked the lentils and didn't care for seasoning- boo! Ate it anyway- baked fries; mixed green salad w/ homemade vinegarette, cucumbers, and mixed cherry tomatoes, w/ pepitas

Sunday:

chocolate banana smoothie bowl- topped w/ raspberries a bit of homemade muesli w/ 2 small breafkast 'cookies' on the side

lunch: after hiking- roasted spiced chickpeas; carrots; orange bell pepper; pink lady apple; pistachios; coconut water

afternoon- snack- 1.5 tostados w/ pinto beans + jicama salad (jicama, cilantro, red bell pepper, purple onion, mandarin oranges, cumin) ; vegan/gf  yada yada dark chocolate- 2 small squares; air popped popcorn + unfortified yeast

dinner: basmati rice; baby bella mushrooms, carrots, spinach, sesame seeds, gochujang sauce

dessert- 1 date w/ 2 pecans

Monday: 

chocolate pb smoothie bowl + 2 small breakfast cookies

basmati rice w/ spinach, carrots, baby bok choy, and baby bella w/ homemade sauce and scrambled tofu

dinner: salad I think- I need to cook some beans of some sort to go with it

snacks???

I need to get groceries but I probably won't go until tomorrow. I was starving yesterday with not eating enough Saturday.

Small cortadito at 10. 

3 of our fresh eggs scrambled with sharp cheddar, salsa verde, and cilantro at 1:15, followed by a sliver of yesterday's pie. I have a killer sweet tooth. 

Dinner will be Mexican pizzas from Kristin Cavallari's new cookbook that I just happened upon at the library. Side salads for those who need more.

dinner yesterday was my leftover chickpea 'tuna' salad w/ mixed greens, basmati, roasted cauliflower, and cucumbers w/ a drizzle of homemade vinegarette

That was just a combination of what I could find in the frig and make with the least effort. I didn't make it home from my opening until nearly 7:30 and I was exhausted (trying to wean off the gabapentin so it was a rough night and not a great day).

The salad was actually good or maybe I was just hungry.

For snacks I packed an apple and a couple of breakfast cookies for the road.

Tuesday:

tofu breakfast scramble w/ sprouted grain toast; 

my first time making the tofu scramble. I don't hate it but I'm not sure what I think of it. 

mid-morning/brunch- smoothie - I have a meeting at 11. It is supposed to be just 1-1.5 hrs but then another 40 minutes home. I don't want to be starving so I'll make a smoothie to go

late lunch: stiry fry- mushroom, spinach, baby bok choy, tofu, basmati rice

dinner: corn tortilla quesadillas w/ peppers, black beans, red onions ???

I absolutely have to get groceries today!!!! I'm working on my list now.

I am scrambling to get our business open so haven't had time to post - mostly eating well but my coffee uptake is red-lining. It's really helpful to read and post here.

Today I had an egg and a slice of whole rye toast, tonight was quinoa, purple cabbage and bok choy plus a salad of cukes, parsley, cilantro, lemon juice, local lettuces, and a little too much mint but it was refreshing.

I've lost track of checking in here as I've been traveling a few days. I'm in another state helping my dd pack to move as well as deep cleaning the house and the apartment. I did two days of driving that also involved visiting with folks along the way. It's been a completely bizarre mix of eating super-healthy meals but appalling snacks on the road, mostly chips and chocolate candy. Normally when I eat chocolate at home it's 85% or 90% dark and I don't eat much because it's so intense. On the road, though, my chocolate was genuine candy. Similarly with chips--there are plenty of times that I allow myself a small handful of chips, especially tortilla chips with salsa. It's not the healthiest, but I figure a small handful especially if paired with a fiery salsa is acceptable in my world. But in the car, I mindlessly snacked on potato chips, too many, and then felt icky. Ugh. 

But in better news, my meals have been pretty solid. I ate Jimmy Johns unwhiches or a salad for a couple meals. Oatmeal or eggs for breakfast the last few days. Homemade Korean lettuce wraps last night for dinner along with some grapes. So all is not lost. 

While I'm here helping dd I will focus on healthy choices, which I can control to a large extent since I am shopping and cooking. I will need to shop before I start driving after the move so that I have better choices that I like right in the car with me rather than succumbing to gas station temptations.
